IN THE LIVING ROOM. I TAKE IT YOU KNEW THAT BE MS. FULTON WOULD BE HEARING EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID BECAUSE YOU WERE SITTING NEXT TO HER. YES, SIR. AND YOU CERTAINLY DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING THAT YOU THOUGHT WOULD HURT HER FEELINGS OR MAKE HER GRIEF EVEN WORSE. YES, SIR. SO BECAUSE OF THAT YOU WERE VERY SENSITIVE TO MS. FULTON'S FEELINGS WHEN YOU ANSWERED MR. de la RIONDA'S QUESTIONS? YES, SIR. AND THAT IS WHY, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT YOU CLEANED UP SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THAT TRAYVON MARTIN USED? YES, SIR. YOU WANTED TO BE HELPFUL BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO HELP THE PROSECUTOR ARREST GEORGE ZIMMERMAN? I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS A WITNESS -- A SERIOUS WITNESS. AT THAT POINT BEING INTERVIEWED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT UNDER OATH YOU STILL HADN'T CONCLUDED THAT YOU WOULD BE A WITNESS IN THE CASE? NOT AN IMPORTANT WITNESS. NOT AN IMPORTANT WITNESS? NO. BECAUSE OF THAT DID THAT ALSO SHAPE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU SAID AND WHY YOU SAID THEM? YES. YES? YES, SIR. FOR OTHER REASONS YOU DIDN'T WANT TO HURT MS. FULTON'S FEELINGS AND YOU DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT WITNESS IN THE CASE? NO, SIR. IS THAT WHY WHEN MR. de la RIONDA WANTED TO KNOW WHAT TRAYVON MARTIN SAID, YOU SAID THIS MAN'S WATCHING ME RATHER THAN WHAT HE ACTUALLY SAID? YES, SIR. YOU THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE OFFENSIVE TO MS. FULTON AND THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE ROOM? JUST MS. FULTON. JUST MS. FULTON? YES, SIR. SO WHEN YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS THAT MR. de la RIONDA ASKED YOU ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID BY WHOM, YOU WERE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MS. FULTON WOULD FEEL OR REACT IF YOU ACTUALLY SPOKE THE ACCURATE WORDS OR THE ACCURATE TRUTH? OBJECTION TO THE COMPOUND QUESTION, COMPLICATED. DID YOU UNDERSTAND -- I'M SORRY. DID YOU UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION? YES, MA'AM. COULD YOU ANSWER IT? NO, SIR. LET ME SEE IF I CAN SAY IT BETTER THEN. WHEN MR. de la RIONDA WAS ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHO SAID WHAT, YOU WERE MAKING IT SOUND DIFFERENT THAN IT ACTUALLY WAS TO KEEP FROM HURTING MS. FULTON'S FEELINGS? NOT ALL OF THEM, SIR. NOT ALL OF THE ANSWERS, CORRECT? YES, SIR. BUT SOME OF THE ANSWERS? YES, SIR. SOME OF THE ANSWERS ABOUT LANGUAGE, FOR EXAMPLE? YES, THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT I CHANGED AROUND, I GUESS, THAT I DID NOT SAY. SO THE ONLY THING THAT YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT WAS ACCURATE WAS THE LONG WAGE THAT TRAYVON MARTIN USED? YES, SIR. I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT IMPORTANT. HE DID NOT ASK ME WHAT WAS TRAYVON -- HE DID NOT ASK ME IF TRAYVON WAS DESCRIBING THE MAN. HE JUST TOLD ME -- I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT IMPORTANT AT ALL. HE HAD ASKED ME TRAYVON'S STATEMENT. I SAID CREEPY. THE ONLY THING I SAID IS CREEPY. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. YOU WEREN'T GOING TO SAY WHAT TRAYVON MARTIN ACTUALLY SAID IN FRONT OF HIS MOTHER? YES, THAT'S DISRESPECTFUL. OF COURSE. NO ONE IS ARGUING WITH YOU ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT'S A DECISION THAT YOU MADE WAS BASICALLY TO CLEAN
